    9.5 Hendricks gallops down, flubs to mid-on! England finally have their first wicket, and no doubt about the catch being clean this time. A big skier from Hendricks ad Moeen pushed the ball wide and asked him to fetch it. Brook settles under it after coming in off the rope. To be honest, that might be a better wicket for SA than England 86/1
    11.5 short with pace off, edged... and swallowed by the leaping Buttler! Brilliant one-handed take, and there won't be any hanging around this time. Buttler gets to his feet and exchanges a business-like high five with Archer. The cutter did for de Kock's timing, but a phat top edge could easily have flown for four. England's captain ensured otherwise 92/2
    13.4 steps to leg, Wood follows him with a dipping bouncer, Buttler has to scamper after it after the ball hits his pads... but he then pulls out a bullet throw to run out Klaasen at the non-striker's end! Miller called for the run, his partner was perhaps guilty of ball-watching. But that was another superb piece of work behind the stumps by Buttler 103/3
    19.1 full and slapped... but Brook intercepts at long-off! Pace on and Miller hit it cleanly, but England had a man back there and he takes an excellent low catch diving to his left. Decent knock from Miller but Archer will now have a new batter to target in the final over 155/5
    14.4 lovely loopy stuff, Markram drags on! Slow and inviting on a wide line, 76kph/47mph and Markram can't time an aggressive thrash through the off side, ends up getting a thick inside edge that bobbles back into his leg stump. England chip out another, strangling SA after a strong start 113/4

    19.2 and another one, chipped to cover running back! Pitched up, Jansen sliced his shot leaning back, looked like probably being safe - only for Curran to skeddadle back from the edge of the ring and take a full-length diving effort over his shoulder 155/6

    1.5 Salt goes to a stunning catch at over! The hero of St Lucia just two days ago has to depart, tempted into an aerial drive that is plucked out of the heavy air by Reeza Hendricks, sprawling to his left - feet off the ground - for the Proteas first wicket of the morning! Game on 15/1
    8.4 Headloss, Buttler? Buttler tries to use the breeze to launch Maharaj into the stands at deep midwicket, but the left-arm spinner has slowed his pace meaning Buttler can only sky to Klaasen, who makes no mistake this time. Simple as. South Africa turning the screw, England circling the drain... 54/3
    6.5 Goneski! Smart stuff from Maharaj - throws the delivery up there slower and wider having seen Bairstow getting tetchy. Goes for a cut but ends up guiding it straight to Jansen at backward point, who dives to his right to take a smart catch 43/2
    10.2 Game over? Short ball - you know, not even that short - pulled away to Maharaj out at deep midwicket, some 15/20 yards in from the fence. Smart bowling from Baartman, who knew Moeen Ali needed to take on the shot to the longer side, against the breeze... 61/4
    19.1 Brook goes! And it's a stunning catch from Aidan Markram over his shoulder running back from mid on! Clutch play from the Proteas skipper after Brook inadvertently skies the first ball of the over down the ground. It did not look like a variation, but Brook did not get that as intended. 150/6
    17.2 Another full toss... but Livingstone's lifted it straight to Stubbs at deep backward square leg! Rabada celebrates right in front of Livingstone - he is pumped! Is there a further twist in this? 139/5
